AN INTERNATIONAL IMPACT AWARD-WINNING BOOK 2026
Forbidden is a sweeping, emotionally charged romance that explores passion, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of love that refuses to stay buried.
Billionaire Bradley Johnson has everything: wealth, power, and influence, but remains haunted by the one thing he lost: Rose Dempsey, his high school sweetheart.
When he discovers she’s living in Los Angeles, trapped in a loveless marriage to the cold and entitled Jake DuPont, Brad becomes consumed by the need to reclaim what they once had. Determined to draw her back into his life, Brad buys the mansion next door and transforms his world into a dazzling spectacle of luxury and temptation. His lavish parties become legendary, but they serve one purpose: to bring Rose back to him.
Jake’s own reckless affair fuels a web of lies that grows increasingly volatile, entangling everyone in a cycle of betrayal and obsession. As tensions rise across the glamorous backdrop, from Los Angeles to Europe and Las Vegas, secrets unravel, and consequences become unavoidable and tragic.
Forbidden Affair is a seductive and heartbreaking tale of second chances and fatal choices, where passion burns bright but leaves scars that last forever
